This Curricular Unit aims to develop fundamental skills in measuring quantities and signals of current interest in the various fields of engineering and in conceiving and designing electrical and electronic devices and equipment for measurement and instrumentation.
Thus faced with a problem of measuring an electric or non electric quantity, the student should be able to select, define and evaluate the measurement method, the most appropriate components, equipment, procedures and programs, as well as to design the respective measurement chain or instrumentation system.
Learning outcomes in this Curricular Unit are assessed from the capabilities to:
In order to achieve the above mentioned aim, students should develop the skills outlined below.
– Specific technical skills:
– Other skills:
1 – Fundamentos da medição e instrumentação
Organization of a measurement chain
Analog to digital signals acquisition and virtual instrumentation
2 – Measurement of quantities and signals
Characterization of signals and measurement of electrical quantities
Signal conditioning and integrity in the measurement chain
Sensors and transduction principles and measurement of non-electrical quantities
3 – Assessment of measurement quality
Characterization of measurement quality
Measurement error and calculation of measurement errors
Uncertainty of measurement
– Lectures, in which the theoretical concepts are presented, and application problems are solved and discussed;
– Theoretical-practical classes, with a more experimental character, where theoretical concepts will be applied and laboratory work will be carried out.

– Laboratory classes are mandatory and subject to the regulations regarding the maximum number of allowable absences.
– If students miss an assignment, even if the absence is adequately justified, it does not eliminate it from the count for classification purposes.
– Students are required to attain a minimum grade of 9.5 in 20 marks in the laboratory work assessment for it to be considered completed.
– Students with approval of laboratory practice (rating greater than 9.5) obtained in previous academic years can maintain this classification. To this end, they must not enroll in laboratory classes, otherwise they cancel definitively the previous laboratory classification.
The final grade is the average of two grades, corresponding to the theoretical and laboratory components of the course.
The grades for each of the two components are evaluated as follows:
– Theoretical component (50%):
– Laboratory component (50%), divided into:
Minimum passing grade: 9.5 marks in 20 at each of the two components mentioned above.
– Written assignments are answered individually and consist of solving problems available throughout the semester, at the end of 4 of the main topics taught in theoretical classes.
– Students will be evaluated in practical laboratory classes based on participation and performance in classes, written answers to questions, demonstration and project report (with grading weights as indicated above).
– Special period exams (degree completion or others) follow the rule applicable to regular period exams.
A project of a complete measurement chain will be assigned in the lab classes.
Laboratory work is compulsory to all students. Students with a special status may be subject to specific analysis in order to provide attendance in one of the classes with the most appropriate timetable. Nevertheless, they will be assessed just like the other regular students.
– Of the theoretical component through the completion of the exam at a later appropriate period for that purpose. The written essays component passes to the exam.
– Of the laboratory component by performing all of this component in the following academic year.
Any practices detected and identified as fraudulent or improper that violate the provisions of the "Academic Code of Conduct for the University of Porto" will be reported.
